What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Uve took over a former 18th-century convent in La Morra, in the heart of Piedmont's Langhe wine country.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
La Morra's historic center lies just outside, where quiet village lanes lead out toward rolling Langhe vineyards.
The rooms
Bedside tables are made from antique encyclopedias, and upper rooms look out across rooftops to Langhe vineyards.
Restaurant
UVE Ristorante
Outdoor tables fill the stone courtyard for dinners of vitello tonnato and beef braised in Barbera wine.
At the table
The wine bar pours Barolo and Barbaresco by the glass beneath a vintage bicycle mounted on the wall.
